"Don't pretend you don't understand, hand over those two children."

"But, but..." Iman stuttered for a long time without finding any words, before giving an embarrassed smile, "What if I say no?"

Isn't that nonsense? If you don't hand them over, Sky Shadow will definitely forcefully take them. Based on her understanding of him, he would undoubtedly do it.

However, upon hearing this, Sky Shadow didn't immediately take action but instead stepped forward two steps.

Iman stepped back two steps, with Yita simultaneously blocking in front of her.

Sky Shadow said, "You should know, they are the descendants of Feng Yi and to some extent, have a certain suppressing power against the bizarre. Only by allowing these two to grow can humans have a chance. Our time is running out. Under my guidance, they can combat the bizarre. I think this vision is quite possible. You don't need to worry about their safety."

Iman nodded seriously, "You're right, but..." she let out a long, melancholy sigh, "Can I have some time to think about it?"

"Consider? Are you trying to delay things? Such a petty trick won't fool me."

"Ah!"

Iman's body froze for a moment, rendered speechless. She was indeed trying to buy time, and had even secretly signaled Yita to quickly contact the Blade Warrior to seek advice on what to do about this. Who knew that just as she spoke, Sky Shadow saw right through her.

"Hand them over, we don't have time to delay further."

"This..."

Iman glanced at Feng Luo and Feng Wu, noticing that the two once lively children were now completely silent, seemingly able to sense the daunting pressure emanating from Sky Shadow.

Bear in mind, Feng Wu wasn't afraid when faced with two drunken louts, yet the moment Sky Shadow arrived at Hans' courtyard, the two children immediately quieted down, behaving like obedient babies without uttering a word, as if realizing just how terrifying this villain was.

"If you want them, you'll have to get through me first." Yita's voice lacked conviction.

Sky Shadow looked at Yita and said, "You should know the gap between us. If possible, I don't want to resolve this through force, so what's your answer?"

These words left both Iman and Yita momentarily stunned. He spoke the truth; in the face of absolute power, any resistance is futile. Four years ago, Sky Shadow could already suppress Yita, and over the years, as Sky Shadow's strength continued to improve, his power was even greater, exceeding by far the gap of a single tier.

Facing someone like this, even ten Yitas would stand no chance.

Iman gently shook her head at Yita, it's no use. If you can escape from Sky Shadow, do it. But if you can't, and he catches you, the outcome will be the same no matter how many come.

Yita knew this, but she was obedient to the Blade Warrior's orders, never questioning, and would definitely fight if required, putting everything on the line. Upon hearing Sky Shadow's statement, she hesitated only briefly. This hesitation wasn't about yielding to Sky Shadow but rather assessing the gap between both sides.

Yita came to an unsettling conclusion: she had no chance, not even one percent. But this was her duty. As a robot, Yita didn't fear death like humans do, so she never considered retreat. With thoughts racing, Yita instantly drew her dual-blade weapon, swinging into combat stance.

Iman gasped in shock, hurriedly rushing forward to stop Yita, urging her to halt and avoid actions filled with strong hostility. This wasn't a suicide mission; they might not have intended to do anything to you initially, but if you were to fight them to the death, they'd surely play for keeps. With this thought, Iman quickly stepped forward and shook her head at Yita.

"Take the children and leave, inform Mr. Blade of the situation, I'll try to buy you some time." Yita didn't waste words, directly instructing them to leave and for Iman to inform Blade Warrior of the situation.

Iman bit her lip, wanting to say something, but right now, Yita's action was indeed the best strategy to protect the children, "Be careful." Iman said while turning to leave.

Sky Shadow wanted to follow, but another shadow swiftly blocked his path.

Seeing this, he tried to shift his position repeatedly to bypass Yita and catch up to Iman, but failed. Despite Yita being less powerful than Sky Shadow, trying to barrel through her was wishful thinking.

"With me here, I won't let you proceed any further."

"Foolish, did you forget your last lesson?"

Yita remembered, "Let's fight then."

Saying this, she unexpectedly advanced first, sweeping out with her twin blades, directly targeting Sky Shadow's weaknesses.

Pa...

The attack paused, the scene froze at the instant when Yita's blades were about to strike Sky Shadow's face. Sky Shadow effortlessly used two fingers to nullify Yita's attack, his wrist power preventing Yita from pulling back her blades no matter how she twisted her body.

Then came a crisp sound, and astonishingly, Iman forcefully broke her blades to free herself.

Sky Shadow was surprised by this unexpected outcome, not foreseeing that her blades were actually connected to her body. But regardless, he released his grip, spinning around with a forceful kick.

Whoosh! The kick was lightning-fast, like a gale or a flash of lightning. Even with First-Order strength, Yita was unable to defend against it, her body sent crashing, snapping countless trees along the way.

In the next moment, Yita jumped even faster, executing several leaps straight at Sky Shadow, her twisting figure like a nimble serpent dancing in the air. Her body seemed like it was made of weapons, covered in spikes and blades, slicing towards him.

This...

Sky Shadow had seen One-Blade Style, Two-Blade Style, and the very rare Three-Blade Style, but had never seen so many ice blades in motion. How did she manage that?

Thoughts momentarily stalled as Yita's attack arrived, whirlwinds of swirling blades passing through him without drawing blood... It was a peculiar sight, reflecting the speed and ghostly remnants of Yita's attacks.

As for Sky Shadow, his movements couldn't be described as swift; the naked eye could not track his shifts, appearing stationary. This was only because his dodging speed far exceeded Yita's, giving the illusion of standing still, reminiscent of Feng Yi's evasive maneuvers.

But now, Sky Shadow's strength far surpassed Feng Yi's at that time. In other words, he wasn't deploying his full power. Despite Yita's best efforts, she couldn't even scratch him. If he unleashed his power, Yita wouldn't stand a chance.

Given her persistent refusal to yield, it was time to exhibit some power. Sky Shadow swiftly advanced, hand raised in a sweeping motion as a gust followed, a fleeting Silver Moon slicing through the void...

Bang, Yita's half-arm fell in response, without any reaction, severed by Sky Shadow's strike. Several heavy punches followed, pounding brutally on Yita's unguarded form.

Yita's steel body instantly sunk in, unable to imagine the immense force she endured in that instant. Under the impact, Yita staggered back unknown steps.

Trying to move, Yita internally exclaimed trouble, her systems severely damaged, entering an OFF countdown shutdown phase, meaning she'd lose consciousness in 30 seconds...

But, as long as she was alive, she couldn't allow Sky Shadow to advance another step. With this thought, Yita activated her maximum power, launching another surprise attack, shooting like a bullet from afar.

Despite Yita's speed, Sky Shadow was faster still. She aimed to unleash a decisive strike, but before she could act, Sky Shadow's overpowering blow came crashing down, leaving her unable to dodge in mid-air, instinctively raising her arms to protect vital spots.

Boom...

Another instant kick, battle concluded, Yita no longer reacted.
